What bugs me most is that anywhere you turn (Reddit, Instagram, Jilly Box Facebook groups, TikTok and others) Jillian seems to have some die hard admirers that will not allow any criticism what so ever. This isn’t Disneyland. It’s real life and not everyone is going to agree but you’re not allowed to have a voice. It’s cult like behavior that’s extremely protective of a woman they don’t even know. They don’t allow anyone to share concerns no matter the issue, positive only and it’s toxic AF. If you happen to have an opinion, people are afraid of what could happen so it’s done with anonymity. Who cares that you have spent money on items that are not very good quality or have defects. How dare you question her! Jillian blocks anyone who isn’t in her Yes camp and refuses to listen to her customers. For every person unhappy, she has a line up waiting to take their place. She needs to continue her cash game at all costs and has managed to use small businesses as her mantra that’s on repeat. It’s insulting to the businesses because she takes advantage and pays very little for the product if at all. It’s all under the guise of her “influence.” Somehow, many have buried their heads deep in the sand and pretend she is doing good because look, she’s raising money for charity. Sure she may ask for lots of donations but I bet if you look under the hood, I would bet money that her personal wealth isn’t going to the charities. That’s what she has an audience for. These are the discussions I want. Anyone commenting on her looks is childish and not adding value to the conversation that is critical right now. Influencers need to be held accountable and Jillian is not an acceptation.
Does anyone else remember when Jillian, before she became the huge BRAND, actually would write her own unfiltered thoughts? At some point, when her son was very young, she wrote honest words about her internal debate about showing her kid on her feed. She even had stats to prove that when she showed him she had much higher engagement, but she was having a moral dilemma over this. Obviously since her kids (and her relatives, friends and their kids) are shown ALL THE TIME she picked business success over privacy concerns. That says everything about her.
I actually think the timing had a lot to do with Rogers having been the sponsor. That was an awfully big sponsor to have been affiliated with such a controversy and the JH camp can’t afford that kind of bad press if they want to keep those relationships with larger brands. JH’s people would have been putting pressure on, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Rogers PR got involved.
And also, people can be too nasty. It’s relevant to have thoughtful, intelligent discourse, but Reddit quickly devolves into the gutter, especially with the anonymity of the internet.
